10 Actors Who Knew The Movie Was Doomed On Day 1
7. Seann William Scott - Mr. Woodcock
Don't feel bad if you don't remember Mr. Woodcock, a comedy starring Seann William Scott, Billy Bob Thornton, and Susan Sarandon that came and went in a blip in the summer of 2007, amid negative reviews while doing little box office business.
In a 2009 interview with Opie and Anthony, the ever-chill Scott talked openly about the movie's failure, straight-up admitting that he and co-star Thornton knew it "sucked" while they were filming it:
"We would rip on that movie, Woodcock... Like, 'This movie f**king sucks'... It's so sad, man. There's nothing worse than going to a movie set knowing that this could end my career. You know what I mean? Like, I can't afford to make mistakes. I'm not Vince Vaughn, you know what I mean? I'm just like, 'Holy s**t, I might be going back to Home Depot soon.'"
Thankfully for Scott, Mr. Woodcock was enough of a non-entity that it was quickly forgotten and basically caused his career no harm at all.
